[QUOTE="arch408, post: 2607643, member: 59036"] I can’t remember if there was proof of it, but supposedly, the lead noses are worn down by friction with the air after they were fired and ballistic coefficients were made worse because of it. The problem is compounded as velocity is increased. If that is true, minor imperfections are probably ironed out or worn off soon after the bullet is fired. Also the synthetic tips were developed to combat this and tip damage caused by recoil battering in magazines. I read an article in a magazine years ago where they mutilated bullet tips in various ways before firing. Their experiments proved the they had little or no effect on bullet performance. They also proved that imperfections on the base of the bullets did influence bullet performance. I would hunt with these bullets as long as they grouped well while sighting in. [/QUOTE]
